When the Wii U launched in North America the more expensive of its two bundles came with Nintendo Land. Japan will have a similar situation when the Wii U launches there early next month. While it’s not the only bundled game Nintendo is offering in the UK (you can also get a bundle with ZombiU), it’s clear that Nintendo expects a lot of consumers to be picking up this game when they buy their system. As such, many comparisons have been...

Namco Bandai may be the masters of bringing Japanese video games based on anime to the west.

After the MGS: Ground Zeros announcement, it’s easy to see how the Raiden spin-off game could be completely overshadowed but from the trailer below I feel many will agree that there’s such a different direction for gameplay and style; comparison will become near impossible and therefore Revengeance will have more than...

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations (UNSG) is the third game in the Ultimate Ninja Storm series following the adventures of the yellow haired excitable boy ninja.
Generations spans from the start of the Naruto story right into the latter Shippuden series when the characters are a lot more grown up. The game has a lot more characters to choose from because of this, as it has essentially merged UNS1 & 2 into one game with a more...

Can you believe that it was in 1999 that Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan published the first chapter of Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto? Who would have guessed that this pubescent ninja’s adventures would span over ten years and sell over ten million copies in Japan alone? Now, after so much popularity, there are hints and rumours that the Naruto Manga could end by this time next year. Rumours online are pointing out that Kishimoto is presently setting...
